How can I save a rolling flat file trace listener on another machine in LAN?

Hi I'm using Enterprise Library 5, I defined rolling flat file trace listener, to save my logs to a file, how can I address this file to be saved on another machine on LAN?

Solution

  • I haven't tested this, but this Q seems to have all the config for tracing to a log file using ent lib: Implementing Log file using Enterprise Library in asp.net The relevant section is "listeners/filename"

    And to log to another machine, it's just a matter of NTFS permissions and the path

    You need to have the code running under a domain account that can write to the remove file (or two local accounts with the same password for a workgroup scenario)

    The path will either be \machinename\sharedFolderName or \ipAddress\sharedFolderName or y:\ if you map a letter to the drive.
